RODRIGUEZ v. CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Carlos RODRIGUEZ, Appellant, v. CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, et al., Appellees.

No. 3D19-2119

Decided: April 22, 2020

Before FERNANDEZ, LOGUE, and SCALES, JJ.

Berrio & Berrio, P.A., and Juan D. Berrio, Miami, for appellant. Thomas F. Pepe, City Attorney, for appellees.

Because we disagree with Appellant's sole argument on appeal that the Legislature's creation of expedited procedures and enhanced statutory remedies to protect victims of repeat violence, sexual violence, or dating violence pursuant to section 784.046, Florida Statutes, preempted the trial court's equitable and inherent authority to issue injunctions conferred by Article V, section 20 of the Florida Constitution and section 26.012, Florida Statutes, which include the ability to issue injunctions to protect public officials and public property as occurred here, we affirm.

LOGUE, J.
